         THINGS TO BRING:

You and your family; that's the most important thing.

Updates on your family: information about what's happened in the last 5
years.  (If you didn't get your family's information into the reunion
book in 1994, please begin at the beginning and fill us in.)  Forms are
enclosed if you wish to use them.

Items for the auction which will help pay for the rent at the School
House, copying and mailing, etc.  We hope to put aside an amount for seed
money for the next committee also.  What to bring, something you made or
created, something that pertains to your family or location, something
you would like to bid on.  Stan will be the auctioneer.



Information for the Legacy Calendar:  Birthdays, anniversaries, and other
important dates to be written in on the big calendar so Boyd can make up
our calendars for 2000.  Plan to share photographs with us afterward too.
Calendar orders will be taken at the reunion and order forms sent to
anyone who can't be there.

Children bring something for the children's exchange - again something
from your location or hobby or interest, something you would like to
trade for.

Photo albums and other memorabilia  you want to share with us.

Plans for the meal your family is responsible for.  If you are flying and
need supplies, give Gordon your shopping list and he will be in touch
with the Savery Store.  Stan is coming a week early so he can do the
shopping for you.

Sports equipment, your cribbage board, games for sharing, fishing gear,
your cowboy hat, camera and film, and anything else that comes to mind to
add to the fun.

Planning our next reunion -  Would your family group like to host it
again in Savery?  Stan and the Bill Hays family group would be glad to
help you get started.  Have you another idea?  A location you enjoy?  A
place that would give us all plenty to do?  A place that connects with
our family history?  Please plan to bring information about your choice
of location so we can make our decision on Thursday - we will decide on
which year then too.
(If you want to do it in Arrow Rock, MO where Harry Hays lived for a
short while as a young man, I will be glad to make local arrangements.
